### My story

Three years back, Goak Ceramics was just me, a tiny room, and a few wheels. Clay was the start, but it’s really about the folks who come in, get messy, and leave with muddy hands and grins. We’ve built a little tribe here, sharing stories and learning together. My work, like the Déesse mugs, comes from my heart, and somehow, it finds people who get it. This space is shaped by everyone who’s been part of it.

### My work

- **Pottery Collections & Commissions**: I make limited-release pottery collections and take custom orders. Each piece has its own story.
- **Pottery Courses & Workshops**: Beginner to advanced wheel throwing classes in Bangalore, plus handbuilding sessions with lots of studio time.
- **Clay Dates Workshops**: One-day, beginner-friendly events where you make fun stuff like teepee incense holders or plant pockets.
- **Déesse Collection**: Mugs, tumblers, and vases inspired by two Bombay sisters, blending storytelling with handmade art.
- **Pottery Nerd Sessions**: I share studio hacks and get into the nitty-gritty so you learn the real craft, not just basics.
